Gaming Addiction

[AdvancedWind]

If you game all summer

July is winter here, friend. =P

you will miss out on camping, biking, travelling/ road trips, swimming, tanning, going to the beach, bbqs etc, and all the other fun things life has to offer during any season.

What if I (or anyone else, really), ya know...don't like these things? What if people actually prefer staying home reading a book / playing a game / watching TV / [insert other 'harmful NO LIFEY activity here']? I know I would have far more fun staying home playing games than any of those except maybe going to be beach (because beaches are indeed awesome)...but how's that a problem (or an addiction) in any way? People have different ways to have their fun and I get slightly...'angry' when others try to force down THEIR view of fun or 'living' down my throat.

No, I don't game 100+ hours a week, but probably would if I didn't have to work / study and if I had that many fun games to keep me busy for so long, something I doubt I would be able to keep for more than a week lol.

In any case, I know that you have noble intentions in posting this, and I also know that there are people that indeed are addicted to gaming (and other stuff) to a point it actually **** down their lives. But just because some people do play a lot doesn't mean either that they are 'addicted' or that they should 'enjoy being young' doing something else.

I do 'enjoy being young' playing my games, reading my manga and etc. Some other people 'enjoy being young' getting drunk daily and going to parties, others 'enjoy being young' camping, others (...). I just wanted that everyone understood that, actually, all of those people are 'having a life'. Enjoying their lifes. The way THEY want, not the way some people consider to be the 'right' way.

In any case, my best wishes for anyone who's going to the beach or anything else next july, I will be staying home with some hot tea, computers and games during my college break. And sorry for any possible grammar errors.
